Polish border guards have asked the Defense Ministry to send 1,000 more troops to the border with Belarus. Poland accuses Minsk and Moscow of orchestrating a new major wave of migration aimed at destabilizing the Polish border. Belarusian services have turned into "an ordinary criminal group that organizes illegal migration," said the commander-in-chief of Polish border guards, General Tomasz Praga. "Of course, they make huge profits from it," he told reporters. According to him, 19,000 migrants have tried to enter Poland since the beginning of the year, compared to 16,000 in 2022.
